08.03 Evening:

Them that honour Me I will honour.

Whosoever . . . shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in Heaven.―He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of Life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.

Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: . . . be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life.

Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.―Praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

1Sa 2:30 Mt 10:32,37-39 Jas 1:12 Re 2:10 2Co 4:17 1Pe 1:7

08.03 Evening:

(I Samuel 2:30)Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from Me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

(Matthew 10:32)Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in Heaven.--(Matthew 10:37-39)He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it.

(James 1:12)Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of Life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.

(Revelation 2:10)Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of Life.

(II Corinthians 4:17)For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;--(I Peter 1:7)That the trial of your Faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

1Sa 2:30 Mt 10:32,37-39 Jas 1:12 Re 2:10 2Co 4:17 1Pe 1:7

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

The LORD is gracious

The Lord is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 25:1,2 Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Psalm 25



The Word for the day--
Psalm 143:8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

08.03 Morning:
His mercy is on them that fear Him.

Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the Secret of Thy presence from the pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

If ye call on the Father, Who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.―The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, . . . in Truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, . . . and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before Me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.―To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite Spirit, and trembleth at My Word.―The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite Spirit.
